Prison Diary Online Posted: 27 Jan 2010 06:01 AM PST For a moment the news of Brit prisoners on home leave being handed out Viagra made me crack up, but once I understood the psychology behind it, I was more compassionate. It's very vital to keep prisoners in the "right frame of mind" and creative writing can be a good outlet. The P:log is a secured random blogging system for prisoners that keeps the author anonymous, but family members and mentors are allowed to identify and communicate with the author. Agreed cryptic messages could be handed out in this system, but I guess if we restrict it to the non hardcore offenders, not much harm would come of it. Designer: Yejin Mun

Switch Socket Posted: 27 Jan 2010 05:13 AM PST Neat name for a Switch + Socket system – One.One.Two! The idea behind this design is to give you a sleek multi-purpose socket so that you can use it to hook up the many devices you own, without going on socket-installation overdrive. The combo of course is of switch & socket, but what's different is that it doesn't use up-down motion to function; it uses a push up-down mechanism instead. Designer: Meysam Movahedi

Yet Another Folding Bike! Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:52 AM PST Yes, seems like "Folding Bike" is the flavor of the season, so I won't bore you with any witty comments. However what makes the db0 (divided by nothing) E bike different from the rest of the gang is that it's soon to be available this first quarter. So those lusting after folding hybrid cycles, hit the jump to catch the specs of this beauty! Features: This is a 100% professional bike and becomes an eco-hybrid pedelec by turning on the power assistant system. Applying high tech injection technology to build bike frame with aluminum alloy material, db0 presents a bold and simple spirit of design. Unique folding mechanism as an integrated piece of the design- a "focal point" that adds visual value to the bike design. Special single front fork & single chain stay frame design to minimize the folding dimension to be extremely compact and ultra light. Equipped with quality inner 3-speed which is maintenance-free, safe, clean, noiseless, and valuable. High performance DC brushless motor in compact size intelligently integrated on front wheel for easier maintenance. Simply relax your muscle on the way climbing up. High capacity Lithium battery in compact size with ultra light weight & special shaped case, safely extends your trip to 40 km. Lithium battery and 250W DC brushless motor to achieve hybrid riding. High-tech central control system is easy to operate with built-in multi-functions. db0 applies WR connectors and wires on whole system to make it easier and safer for installation and removing. Innovative I.P.T.S. (Intelligent Pedal Torque Sensor) system that detects the torque value from cyclist's pedal force and thus provides humanized assistance comfortably, just like an advanced "auto-shifting" device on your fabulous bike! Designers: DK City & ROBRADY

DJ with a Real VJ Posted: 27 Jan 2010 12:18 AM PST You’ve been to some shows. People up on stage singing and dancing, bands playing amazing music with some lights behind them. Have you seen Slayer? They’ve got a gigantoric screen behind them. Not only does their music explode people’s eardrums, the visuals explode their eyeballskins. What’s new in that? It’s faderTouch. A rear projection touchscreen interface developed by VJ Fader, aka James Cui. With a 400 lumen projector and an infared touch screen panel, you’ll be bright. With a steel frame construction and collapsibility, all carried easy by a turntable road case, you’ll get reeespect. Designed to hold custom visuals, comes standard with visual performance software programmed in Processing. And not only can it project wild visuals, with the touchscreen you bet you can play wild audio as well! Multiple instruments programmed in to make this screen a brand new instrument in and of itself! I’ll take a tester please thank you! Designer: James Cui (VJ Fader)

Tickle Me Butts! Posted: 27 Jan 2010 12:10 AM PST Actually, more like Butts Chair Change. This chair is called the “Bristle Me Chair” and is designed to change as you use it. Going right beside the old, correct way of going about possessions, this chair was made to change the perception that old is bad. Old is used, used means broken in. Broken in means unique and sculpted to the person who uses it! This is the Bristle Me Chair. Meagan Roberts wanted to create an object that changed gradually over time, gradual being a key point, with the objective being that as the object changed, it would be perceived as better than new. In the world we live in, especially where I live, midwest USA, most, and I mean MOST people consider something that’s old to be something that is ready to be thrown out. It is perceived and reinforced in our society that if you can buy something new as easily as keeping the old, it’s foolish to keep the old! But I say to thee thus: Brisle Me Chair. Keep the old. Lose the judgement, buy things you don’t have instead of replacing things that do not need replacement. Bristle Me Chair! It is a revolution in possessions! Designer: Meagan Roberts

Always Wanted a CNC Machine Posted: 27 Jan 2010 12:01 AM PST I know you did. You always wanted to be able to have your router (for wood, not for internets) work robotically. You wanted to just be able to stick some numbers in there and bam! What a wicked sign you’ve got. Well check this out! Designer Nick Santillan had that uncontrollable urge, that need, that want! To make things better. To show improve! So what’d he do? He learned all about CNC machines, found some directions for a DIY, and DIHimself with modifications. Lovely, fabulous improvements. 36″ x 30″ x 26″ | Wood, Metal, Magic CNC stands for “computer numerical controlled” and today it’s used for a number of machines including wood routers, milling machines, water jet cutters, oxy-fuel, surface grinders, and my favorite, 3D printing. The one mister Nick Santillan’s made here is for routing. What’s so sweet about it? It’s for the home user. Not only is it small and manageable, it breaks down into three easy-to-store pieces for even easier use. It employs an open-table design and a moving gentry to make easy milling and engraving objects on the surface directly below. It’s got a custom tool holder to allow any number of mounts for any number of projects. Insane! This is made to be further modified. That’s exactly what the future is about. Not cut and sold to be limited, designed to hold up to several generations of modifications! Designer: Nick Santillan
